    I miss when the A-5C fought the F-14 in sim. I would find lobbies of zombers, go in my F-14 and lob phoenixes at them and get free kills. They would then start yelling in Chinese about me 🤣. Love the new sim brackets!

    Tbf to the Mig-23 pilots, it has no rearward visibility whatsoever, somewhat poor frontal visibility, and it has a massive piece of bracing that runs along the entire top length of the canopy and obscures your vision of the enemy while turning. If you don't turn at an angle in the Mig-23 or use the head tilt keybinds then its very easy to lose sight of the enemy in the rate fight. I suspect that's why they all just start running in one direction after a while.

    2:17 tomcat nerd here, you can set the wing sweep axis correction to -50%, Multiplier to 2, unbind any controls in thaat axis, and make sure relative control is off. With this you can basically only ever need to tap 1 button, without needing to set it up on the runway.

    I did notice the RWR limitations being well... an annoyance to deal with at times. But most times, I mitigated this by just being the Phoenix sniper in the back. If they want to kill me, they have to get picked up by my radar. Went 16 and 0 one match. Went 18 and 2 another. Aim-54's are SCARY missiles to deal with on Afghanistan in planes like Mig-21 or Mig-23 where you don't fully know what the threat is or how far away it is. Hell, I even got a few Mirage 2000's with them due to just straight up being caught off guard.

      @@DasGermanBias I intentionally go for the people in the back of the pack using TWS track during matches. I tend to shoot as early as possible as I haven't exactly noticed much difference in PK between a 40km launch and a 60km launch. If they're aware and maneuvering, they'll probably defeat it anyway. I usually get one in every two Aim-54's to connect, and at least I cause some chaos. Climb to 8000m+ for best effect

    I can only speak for myself, but I tend to easily lose track of my opponents in dogfights, especially in top tier jets where everything is fast, stressful, and makes me want to rush in and out of there. Typically I end up like thise guys getting missiled, after turning about for 8-10 seconds, frantically looking left and right for my target.
    And thats if I didn't accidentally engage a friendly lol

    1. Weather a head on pd/tws will pick up a cold target depends of targets closure speed. So if you are just barely slower than you target, it won't see anything, but if you are much slower than you'll get a reliable contact
    2. Pd search has better vertical scan zone, so I usually use it for situational awareness and then switch to tws to track my target of choice

    I had to stop playing the F14a all together because the lack of PD detection on RWR. Almost everything has a PD mode in that BR range so it leads to a lot of dying from things you didn't even know where there.

      Either getting close enough where you can see the plane and indentify it yourself or getting close enough where the game tells you, if it shows up as an ally its an ally. If it doesnt show up no matter what its an enemy.
      You have to get within 0.9km from the plane to have this occur.
      Usually players use the ‘follow me’ radio message to give their position on the map and you can as well… sort of a rudimentary iff.
      At higher br’s your radars can detect if its a friendly or enemy but its not infallible.

    with the f14s radar sometimes picking people up flying away from you its due to the speed gate that the radar has to pick up targets, its something like if they are flying away from you they have to be going more than ~200-290m/s
